Abstract: Western Ghats are the Mountain ranges extending from southern tip of India (Tamil Nadu - Kanyakumari to Gujrat). These mountain ranges are rich in biodiversity with diverse and endemic flora and fauna, and is birth place of numerous perennial rivers namely Netravathi, Sita, Sharavathi, Aghanashini, Krishna, Cauvery, etc.. The Western Ghats hill ranges forms and important watershed for the entire peninsular India, being the source of 37 west flowing rivers and three major east flowing rivers and their numerous tributaries. The stretch of Central Western Ghats of Karnataka, from 12? N to 14?N, from Kodagu district to the south Uttara Kannada district, and covering the Western portions of Hassan, Chikmagalur and Shimoga districts, is exceptionally rich in flora and fauna. Whereas the elevation from 400 m to 800 m, is covered with evergreen to semi-evergreen climax forests and their various stages of degradation, especially around human habitations, the higher altitudes, rising up to 1700 m, are covered with evergreen forests especially along stream courses and rich grasslands in between. This portion of Karnataka Western Ghats is exteremely important for agriculture and horticultural crops. Whereas the rich fields in valleys are irrigated with numerous perennial streams from forested hill-slopes the undulating landscape is used to great extent for growing precious cash crops, especially coffee and cardamom. Black pepper, ginger, arecanut, coconut, rubber are notable crops here, in addition to various fruit trees and vegetables. Some of the higher altitudes are under cultivation of tea. Conservation and sustainable management of central Western Ghats are extremely important from the point of productivity, revenue generation, employment potential and subsistence.

Abstract: Based on the grey theory, grey characters of river environment system were analyzed. The velocity and dispersion coefficient and attenuation in river were considered as uncertainty parameters and expressed as grey parameters. A grey differential equation of contaminant diffusion in river was built. And the equation has special structure. Te truncation error of finite differential method in solving the model was corrected. According to the model, distribution values of pollutant concentration under sudden pollutant discharge can be obtained directly, which can provide abundant and useful water quality information for the plan and control of water pollution. It is shown that the calculated results obtained from the grey model are reliable and reasonable.

Keywords: Water resources, STIRPAT model, Socio-economic factors, Zhejiang province, Prefecture-level cities, Water management.
Abstract: Zhejiang province in China is confronting with pressing problems for how to rationally develop and sustainably use water resources. Due to the large population base, water resource per capita in Zhejiang is not plentiful, although it is a place abundant in water. As in the 2011, water resource per capita in Zhejiang is not plentiful, although it is a place abundant in water. As I nth 2011, water resource per capita in Zhejiang province is 1, 362 m3. In view of this, Zhejiang province should be regarded as an area of moderate water shortage. The paper introduces the STIRPAT model to describe and further explore linkages between water consumption and population as well as other socio-economic factors to select out major ones affecting water resources consumption for 11 prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang province. Based on the empirical results, paper tries to propose suggestions for long-term water management in Zhejiang province.

Abstract: China has published ?Green Building Action Plan?. Developing green building is necessary to shift urbanization mode in China. ?China Evaluation Standard for Green Building? has set per capita residential land index as the prerequisite for residential buildings. Absolutely, per capita residential land index depends deeply on per capita floor space of residential building. In China, national and local ?Evaluation Standard for Green Building? raises demands of per capita residential land index. According to those requirements, this paper conducted a case study and calculated changes of residential construction land area with different set values of per capita floor space of residential building. This paper also built a residential building model and utilized simulation to analyse annual building energy consumption. Results indicate that per capita floor space of residential building decreases accordingly while per capita residential land index reduces, and every 5 % increase in per capita residential land index translates into about 7 percent decrease in construction land area. On the aspect of energy consumption, per capita floor space of residential building reduces 17.2 % only. While annual energy consumption reduces 17.45 % in return. I t is concluded that controlling per capita floor space of residential building is important to maintain the energy-saving and land-saving properties of green building.

Abstract: Endemic fluorosis is prevalent in China, which can seriously impair the bones, teeth and cardiovascular system. The study was intended to explore antagonistism of selenium (Se) on high dose fluorine (F) inducing plasma 6-Keto-prostaglandin F1?, Thromboxane B2 and Endothelin-1. Twenty male rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups: High F group (NaF, 100 mf/l), Se group (Na2SeO3, 1mg/L), High F + Se group (NaF, 100 mg/L; Na2SeO3, 1mg/L) and Control group (without fluorine and selenium). The ear vein blood was collected for measurement of serum selenium and fluorine at the end of 0, 3rd and6th months. At the end of 6th months, plasma 6-Keto-prostaglandin F1? (6-k-P), Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) were detected. Serum fluorine was increased in high F group and serum Se was increased in Se group. Plasma 6-K-P was decreased, while the plasma TXB2 and ET-1 increased with the development of fluorosis. Compared with the high F group, the plasma 6-K-P was higher (p<0.01), whereas plasma TXB2 and ET-1 were lower (p<0.01) in high F + Se group .The interaction showed that there was a significant anatagonistic action of Se on decreased 6-k-P and increased TXB2 induced by high dose fluorine. Our study showed that the Se may antagonize the adverse effects of high F.

Abstract: Groundwater quality determination is essential for assessing its suitability for drinking and agricultural purposes. In the present study 104 open well water samples were collected during both pre and post-monsoon seasons to evaluate the groundwater quality of Vamanapuram river basin. Samples were analysed for different physico-chemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Salinity, Na+, K+, TH, Ca2, Mg2+, Cl-, NO-3,SO42-, PO43- and HCO3- following standard procedures. The acquired values were compared with BIS standards to recognize their aptness for domestic use. From the Piper plot dominant hydrochemical facies identified is Na-Cl for both seasons. Alkalies (Na and K) exceed weak acid alkaline earths (Ca and Mg) and strong acids (Cl and SO4) exceed weak acid (HCO3) in both seasons. To determine the suitability of water for agricultural use, chemical indices like sodium adsorption ratio, percent sodium, residual sodium carbonate and permeability index were calculated. RSC and PI have revealed that all samples are safe for irrigation except those from the coastal area of Anchuthengu which is unsuitable for drinking as well as irrigation purpose.

Abstract: With the quick urbanization and rapid globalization, expressway, as the most important portion of the highway networks, has been developed at an astonishing speed, which brought on increasingly severe ecological environmental problems although contribution greatly to human. Therefore, it is necessary how to promote economic development and at the same time to control the negative impact of expressway, which means it should be a sustainable expressway landscape, an expressway with human and nature in harmony. In this paper, the characteristics and the faced changes of a sustainable expressway landscape have been analysed. The eco-control system for the sustainable expressway landscape was constructed including both the theory control system and the technology one, adopting ecology, landscape, planning, cybernetics and related expressway theory to a whole new theory guiding the control process. It is integration among the series of engineering technologies, the methods and guarantee of a sustainable expressway landscape. The technology controls is in three layers, i.e., master control for two sides of panning and key nodes, subsection control mainly for the detailed expressway attribute of inside and outside elements, management control crossing the whole living process cycle of expressway. The eco-control system of sustainable expressway landscape would be implemented from three scales: macro-planning control, meso-design control and micro-engineering and technical control.

Abstract: This paper evaluates the environment protection level of 30 Provinces in China using grey relational analysis based on 10 indicators which can be divided into 3groups waste discharge, environmental remediation and resource utilization. Evaluation has been done on both integrated and separate according to 3 kinds of indicators. Result shows that the best provinces in environment protection are Zhejiang, Tianjin and Beijing while the worst provinces are Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang. The level of environment protection in the eastern coastal areas is relatively higher, and the level of environmental protection in northwest region is relatively low. Provinces that have higher GDP per capita are likely to have higher environment protection, and vice versa. Most provinces are unbalanced in the3 aspects and few provinces managed a full range environment protection. Cities are found to be better in waste discharge and resource utilization while resource based provinces are on the contrary.

Abstract: Differential site index models were constructed using both algebraic difference approach (ADA) and the generalized algebraic difference approach (GADA) in this study to evaluate the site quality of forest land without the site index table. Data related to China fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb). Hook) were selected to fit the diferential site index models and then the optimal model was chosen. The optimal model was determined using an accuracy test and residual analysis, and then the dynamic update technique of the optimal model was studied by MATLAB and NET. The results showed that Richards ' differential site index model (SI=19.171x (Ht/19.171)In(1-exp(0.067x20)in (1-exp (o.067 At))) had the best prediction performance. The ADA and GADA could be used to evaluate site quality without the site index table and the differential site index model could provide prompt dynamic updates.

Abstract: Using the method of ultrafiltration, the raw water of Nanchang section of Ganjinang River and the water after conventional treatment were estimated to determine the molecular weight distribution. The results showed that the raw water of Ganjiang River has a molecular weight distribution with large edges and small middle parts, which meant that the organic matter mainly centralized in a scope where the molecules were larger than 30ku or less than 1ku, and the middle size matter occupied a relatively small proportion. In winter low-water season, there was little organic matter in the river and the small organic matter increased, whereas the small organic matter molecules decreased and the large organic matter molecules became dominant. The ordinary water purifying process of Nanchang city was just to remove the large molecules of the organic matter mainly, which led to an unsatisfying result where the small molecules were barely removed.

Abstract: Large-scale integration of wind power has brought profound challenge to traditional power generation dispatch. It becomes necessary to effectively coordinate the operation of wind power sources. Traditional economic dispatch to minimize the fuel cost no longer meets the need for environmental protection when emission reduction is mandatory. Based on the optimal dispatch in traditional power system, the concept of :energy-environmental efficiency ? was introduced to modify the optimal dispatch model in wind power integrated system, and the multi-objective optimal dispatch model was proposed on the basis of comprehensively considering the minimum of the resource consumption, the best energy-environmental efficiency and the highest system stability. A hybrid particle swarm and simulated annealing optimization algorithm with fuzzy technology was presented to solve the optimization model. Compared with traditional economic dispatch, the model proposed in this paper is reasonable and can be better protect the ecological environment.
